Robot and keyPress

Question

What sort of code need to be passed to the JavaFX Robot when using the keyPress method?

For example, the example below enters a 1, not an <

Answer 1

Codes are defined as constants in javafx.scene.input.KeyCode.

With the glass robot, you can use the deprecated method impl_getCode:

Robot robot = com.sun.glass.ui.Application.GetApplication().createRobot();
robot.keyPress(KeyCode.A.impl_getCode());

You can also use the FXRobot, which takes KeyCodes as parameters:

FXRobot robot = FXRobotFactory.createRobot(scene);
robot.keyPress(javafx.scene.input.KeyCode.A);
